This is shaping up to be the thing right wing nuts get outraged about this upcoming week. I feel like this is a good litmus test… anyone who gets angry about this is probably way more of a white nationalist than they are letting on. You think these same people who be angry about a blue/white/orange tricolor, saying it’s too close to the Dutch flag?

    Old flag is so ugly

    First off it's way too busy, at a distance it doesn't look like anything

    Second, racist as hell

    Third, not symmetrical

    Just awful, one of the worst flags I've ever seen

      Yeah, that first one is classic US state flag design, incomprehensible and fails at everything a flag is supposed to do. The new one works quite well as a flag.

        I think the new one is… fine. An improvement. But it’s still more of just stars and tricolors.

          Yeah, it's functional, that's how I'd describe it. If it were a country's flag I would not be able to remember which country 5 minutes after I saw it.

            Meaning three bars arranged either horizontally or vertically, like most euro flags.

              Yeah Palestine's flag and the Sahrawi flag are both tricolors despite having a similar triangle of a different color on one side. Same reason the Philippines is bicolor despite its triangle
